Abstract: The basic Ant Colony Algorithm is a distributed intelligent simulation algorithm. However, existing Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms still have limitations such as slow convergence ...

SimCraft is designed for academic research, industrial applications, and integration with optimization algorithms including reinforcement learning. It provides a clean, extensible API for building ...

Sick ant pupae of Lasius neglectus can sense when they’ll die from infection and signal for help, triggering their own destruction to protect the colony—a selfless act studied at IST Austria and the ...

Abstract: This paper devises a multimodal ant colony optimization (MACO) framework to solve multi-solution traveling salesman problems (MSTSPs), which aim to find multiple optimal routes in a single ...
